George Stevens made 2 bombs in his career-"The Greatest Story Ever Told," and this 1937 misery.
We all age in 10 years. What's so new about that? Franchot Tone returns from the Napoleonic Wars and can't adjust to Phoebe, (Hepburn) so she pretends to be a younger, more glamorous Libby. The entire picture then becomes one of Hepburn trying to hide the fact that Libby and Phoebe are really the same person. Estelle Woodward, who is actually young in 1937, is suspicious but utter than her facial grimaces, she really has nothing much to do here. Ditto for Fay Bainer as the sister, who seems to be befuddled by this whole mess.
The usually hysterical Eric Blore is greatly subdued by a silly script.
